About the Artist:
Eleanor Jones graduated from Vancouver High School and studied home economics at Eastern Washington University. She became a homemaker after her marriage to a teacher she met at her church. She also taught a series on public TV, "Creative Stitchery," and stitchery classes at Clark College while her career caught on.
She worked out of the family room of her Hazel Dell home. It was a big, messy room with thread, fabric and beads piled on work tables everywhere, and yarn stored in an old hardware store's nail bin.
Eleanor did not keep great records of her work, although she completed dozens of pieces for area churches or chapels. The Oregonian on January 8, 2006
